Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

On the contrary, it's even cuter and more alluring. Even if you just give the artist a little extra money, it wouldn't cost much. Learn from Huang Ji's New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival costume skins—they're not at all lewd. If you had an experienced lewd critic like me to review the artwork, I could double his revenue without even releasing a limited edition.

"If you dressed like this all the time, why would I have to worry about finding you a husband every day?"

Old Wei became increasingly frustrated. Look at Old Cat's daughter, usually so energetic and lively, but when it comes to finding a lover, look at her—so quiet and elegant, with a graceful demeanor like a flower reflected in water. Who would guess she's a tigress?

Then look at my own husband, Mr. Chen. Well, when he came out of the locker room, he did indeed amaze everyone.

Then, a minute later, he reverted to his true self as Inspector Chan, looking more like a boy in drag.

No, boys dressed as women are more feminine, because next door is Mr. Ansel, an intern from Rhodes Island with long pink and white hair and extremely androgynous clothing. He came to represent Rhodes Island at the ceremony and is an intern sent by the Rhodes Island medical department to work with Lao Xia. He just arrived yesterday.

Comparing himself to a real boy, dressed up and looking shy, and then looking at his own husband, Old Chen, with his raised eyebrows and foul mouth, Old Wei completely gave up and decided to find him a gentle and virtuous wife instead.

However, the little tiger, who was as beautiful as a flower reflected in water, had a blank mind. Other girls were filled with sweetness when they got engaged, which meant that they had found their future home and were about to reap the ultimate harvest and results of their love. But her mind was filled with nothing but blank confusion.

And she knew nothing about the future, and even her relationship with the man she was forced to marry was limited to casual conversations with him, though it couldn't be said that she knew nothing about him.

But they weren't exactly close friends, which left her even more confused and unsure of what to do.

Outwardly, this manifests as a gentle and serene expression unlike her usual lively demeanor. Or perhaps it's a muscle reflex ingrained by her upbringing as a young lady; outwardly calm as a rock, but inwardly panicking and tense.

After getting engaged, you're a married couple, so shouldn't you hold hands? That's fine, we've held hands before for work, but what about kissing? And what about going further?

As he thought about it, the little tiger's face turned completely red, his fair cheeks glowing with an alluring pink.

"Tsk—" The tall, unfeminine-looking Ghost Sister looked at the little tiger who had inexplicably started to blush and feel shy, and then at Old Chen who was spouting vulgarities, with one foot on the stool and the other holding a round fan upside down as if he was about to open someone's mind, and sighed deeply.

She may have a rather robust and muscular appearance, but she still has the heart of a young girl, and at least she can tell what Miss Beatrice Swire is thinking.

However, it was impossible to tell what Lao Chen was thinking. His thinking was probably the same as that of a man, which made it impossible for a woman like her, who was a man with a woman's heart, to understand him. It was just like how most women couldn't understand the silly fun that men had.

When it was almost time to leave, Old Chen finally calmed down for a while. Perhaps he was tired of scolding people. Now he was back to his previous serene and tranquil self, like a mirage, sitting in the car like a quietly blooming blue lotus.

[Regarding the skin with the cheongsam, was she perhaps having an artistic photoshoot when she caught her subordinates peeking, and then turned around and angrily scolded them? "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen me in a cheongsam before?!"? I think that picture paired with that line would be perfect; I can practically hear that line echoing in my head just from that skin.]

The engagement banquet was to be held in front of the Pacific Mall. Tiger had already cleared the venue, and the professional company he had hired at a high price was busy setting up the stage, decorating, and arranging seats for relatives and friends. Tiger, who rarely comes to the event, was chatting and laughing with a group of influential figures in the business world.

As for Lao Xia, he continued to reassure the core production line of "TuTu Refrigeration Machine" while still in the car.

[PS1]

As for the person who said electromagnetic railguns have no recoil and that it's a unidirectional force from the magnetic field, I won't even bother saying that it would infuriate Newton or humiliate Hall. Here's the diagram...

Please, before you speak, take a look at "Principles of an Electro-Rayet." It's available online; it's free, even if it only takes a little time. Don't spout off some cheap, low-quality literature. (Image will refresh later; it's a screenshot from a textbook. Sigh...)

[PS2]

Here's another picture of Old Chen at a blind date. It will be updated later. The artwork was drawn for free by a reader from the Karak group. Thank you very much.

Chapter Twenty: Even a Big Cat is a Cat!

Chapter 20

Even after being soothed for a long time, the rabbit's cooling core still looked sullen. However, it was much better than at the beginning, since those things were just clones of her somatic cells and induced development in a directed manner, essentially no different from HeLa cell samples.

It's just that the visual impact is a bit too strong for the Terrans, or even for modern Earthlings.

In fact, there are many more shocking scenes than this one in the process of geomedical and biological experiments.

For example, research on necrophilic insects, forensic medicine, etc...

"As long as there's no fetal heartbeat, it's not considered a separate individual. So, you can think of it as using your excrement... pfft!"

"Don't say these things to girls!"

It would have been better not to explain; explaining it now only makes it seem more perverted. White Rabbit withdrew her fist from Old Xia's stomach.

So when Lao Xia appeared at the engagement ceremony, his expression and Swire's looked remarkably alike—the two had the exact same, identical expression, as if they were both suffering from stomach pain. Well, one of them genuinely did have a stomachache.

Given the Terran's physique, even if White Rabbit was only 13 years old, the force of that punch would have been enough to hurt. If Old Xia hadn't blocked the pain signal in his abdomen in time and activated the symbiote's self-healing enhancement function to accelerate the dissipation of the blood clot, his expression would probably have been even more distorted.

"Xia, you've come at the right time. Let me introduce you. This is from the Black Steel Dragon Gate branch..."

The big tiger happily dragged Lao Xia over to introduce him to these friends from the business and political circles. Since the marriage is called a marriage alliance, it is necessary and obligatory for the father-in-law to share these connections once such a relationship is formed.

It has to be said that this is indeed very useful for Lao Xia, since some hidden businesses are difficult to obtain from the surface.

Moreover, the process of Swire's recommendation itself demonstrates an attitude. Some forces and companies that do not have a fundamental conflict of interest will choose to make concessions and compromises, while those who are already in a cooperative relationship will also show a more serious attitude towards cooperation.

Moreover, there are also bigwigs in the political and business circles of Longmen. In the future, Lao Xia can skip a lot of technical procedures and just make a phone call or send someone to handle many things.

However, if no one introduces you or explains or guides you, then you'll have to run away. [Anyone who's ever worked within the system understands this.]

"As for funding, go to your Uncle Chen. He's a relative of Xiao Chen's father and the head of Longmen Bank. Don't be polite with this old guy. He always complains about being poor, but he actually has hundreds of billions of capital in his hands and doesn't know where to invest it."

"Ahem, what kind of ridiculous plans did you bring to me for money before? But for someone like Mr. Xia, we can loosen the loan restrictions as appropriate."

"Uh..." Although his cash flow is very healthy now, Sanlian Pharmaceutical recently launched Lao Xia's new wet products, Terra-specific human blood immunoglobulin and anti-rejection artificial blood. Since there are no pharmaceutical factories producing these in Terra, there are almost no competitors, and they are selling like hotcakes.

Moreover, from a medical perspective, these are considered "raw materials," and pharmaceutical companies like Rhine Life Sciences are among the largest purchasers of them, as they are used in experiments, medical treatments, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

While his finances are healthy, Lao Xia wouldn't overlook the fundamental purpose of finance: borrowing money from others to build his own cars. "Thank you very much. I'm planning to enter the machinery manufacturing industry soon. After all, if you're in agriculture, you need to be involved in various agricultural machinery and necessary water conservancy equipment."

"Doing everything yourself is not easy, not easy at all." The reason why most groups do not choose to do everything themselves is that they cannot negotiate prices with themselves. In fact, the cost is higher than purchasing from external suppliers, where several manufacturers compete with each other to lower prices.

"However, manufacturing doesn't make money." The profit margin in manufacturing is too low, and although Tiger is involved, he clearly doesn't want to invest any money.

"I've already contacted a buyer. The main problem is that it's inconvenient to produce these things in the snowy plains."

There are no problems with the equipment; the main issue is with the workers. Production capacity has already been filled by the Colossus armor ordered by Lungmen. In addition, the infrastructure there already requires a large number of various standard primary prefabricated components. It would be more cost-effective to use Lungmen's technical workers and industrial scale advantages to manufacture them.

"Mainly various metal pipes and vehicle parts..." Both of these have mature processes and manufacturing procedures in Terra. Old Xia only needs to improve a part of them, especially the vehicle part, to avoid unnecessary duplication of construction in the snowfield.

Terra's heavy industrial products are quite good. After all, they can manufacture super-heavy tracked vehicles like mobile cities, so manufacturing tracked vehicles and suspension systems weighing tens of tons is no problem at all.

The main reason they didn't develop tanks but instead developed land-based assault ships is due to their weaponry.

The city defense cannons are so large that they can only be mounted on land cruisers and battlecruisers, and require several warlocks to maintain them. The amplification cannons also require cruiser-class vehicles. The only weapon that can be made to the size of a tank is the ultralight ballista, whose power is highly questionable. Moreover, Terra's armor technology is terrible.

Structural materials and armor materials are completely different things. For example, graphene only needs to be as thick as a plastic bag to support several tons of weight, but as armor, it won't be any more effective against anti-armor weapons.

The strength of the membrane depends on the type of composite carbon armor plate made of graphene, diamond film, carbon fiber, diamond film, and graphene, like the one Lao Xia uses.

Moreover, it is made up of dozens or even hundreds of millimeter-level plates, filled with high-strength polymer gel, which provides excellent protection against jets and solid armor penetration. It is also the protective shell structure of the main civilian ground units of the Covenant, and the outermost protective shell of ships is also of this structure. However, it is still only a "beep" membrane-level defense against starship weapons.

"Do these two items sell well in Ursus?" A voice suddenly appeared from the side. "Well, your competitor, the manufacturing giant of Lungmen. Even I have to rely on him, otherwise what would I do if he stopped supplying my mall?" Tiger's tone was clearly joking, but it also indirectly introduced who this person was.

"They sell very well. In places like Ursus, farming requires overcoming natural disasters and extreme cold. So, burying underground heat pipes to prevent irrigation water from freezing and the frozen soil from refreezing is an ideal solution. Moreover, Ursus has a large temperature difference between day and night, which is conducive to the accumulation of sugar in crops, making it a good place to grow sugar plants."

Few people understood the technical details, but they did understand that the large temperature difference between day and night in Ursus allowed for sugar production by using hot water pipes to prevent the permafrost from freezing.

Sugar is a hard currency and luxury item in Terra, just like gold. Sugar companies like Swire Group don't have to worry about where their profits come from, as long as they don't run into guys like Xia who dump tons of sugar into the market and force their way in.

"Water pumps, booster pumps, water pipes, pressure-resistant gas flow pipes, high-temperature fire pipes for steam engines, and..." Old Xia rattled off a whole string of gadgets.

"By the way, to facilitate the splicing of inner and outer pipes, I suggest that some seamless pipes have threads machined into their inner layers. Of course, it doesn't matter if we don't have this technology; I will build a machining plant later to specialize in making these internally threaded pipes," Old Xia said seriously.

These are, of course, normal water conservancy construction materials, and also normal agricultural machinery materials. However, it is a different story when they are transformed into a superb low-pressure artillery system after being crafted by nature and ingeniously utilized by the people.

Of course, besides the barrel, there are a whole host of other requirements for artillery, and this type of steel pipe can only be used to make low-pressure, short-barreled artillery with low requirements.

Because it is difficult to guarantee the roundness of the barrel cross-section during transportation and processing, and it is also difficult to guarantee that it will not bend during the processing of long pipes, since it was ordered as a water pipe.

A slight sag or bend in the water pipe is not a problem, but if the gun barrel is like that, the accuracy will be affected.

If it is a high-pressure cannon, it may explode on the spot. For safety reasons, we can only try to shorten it to avoid the explosion caused by the bending of the excessively long pipe due to gravity.

The fake water pipes that Lao Xia produces can only be used in light artillery, that is, those under 75 mm. The metal materials and processing of large-caliber, long-caliber artillery are extremely difficult to master.

Moreover, it will soon be replaced by missiles and rapid-fire AGS systems, and with the Originium railgun, there is no need to meticulously replicate the historical development trajectory.

Old Xia's current plan is to use Originium railguns for large artillery and anti-armor artillery, and conventional gunpowder weapons for infantry and artillery systems, which can also avoid collateral damage to friendly personnel.

Because the Originium Railgun has such a large area of ​​effect, it's fine as a large artillery piece, but if it's made into a personal weapon or infantry gun, probably no one would dare to use it.

Large artillery pieces generally don't consider infection issues caused by depressurized Originium gases and light spots, because any creature that dares to stand next to a large artillery piece that is firing has already been destroyed, and there's no need to worry about infection from dead people.

Individual weapons are also simple and convenient to manufacture using various small-diameter seamless internally threaded steel pipes. They do not require any Originium Arts and can quickly replace Mr. Sesa's grenade launcher to become the Sarkaz's favorite weapon, a cancer in Kazdel, and a humanitarian concern of Ursus—Kalashnikovsky II!

Just get the gist; the shapes and structures are not the same.

It is expected that within the first five-year plan, the gentlemen of Ursus will be able to enjoy the authentic Ursus-style insurgent attacks, a steel torrent composed of countless T-34s and Stalin's Hammers, mixed with clusters of rocket launchers, accompanied by gray beasts carrying Kalashnikovs and PPShs shouting "Hurrah!"

Even if you asked the Ursus Emperor himself, he wouldn't dare say that this was an activity involving foreign forces, as everything from the weapons to the style was purely Ursusian.

Especially those iron pipe rifles, which have a bit of a post-apocalyptic punk vibe. The only slightly out-of-place element is the elite special forces like the Shield Guards and Yeti Squad who drive power armor.

However, as long as it's painted with dark green woodland camouflage and a red hammer and sickle five-pointed star on the chest, it's a genuine Ursus-style outfit in a certain sense.

Before the engagement ceremony even started, Lao Xia had already secured seven or eight business collaborations, more than a dozen cooperation intentions, and three investment intentions. It can be said that he had made a great harvest. The biggest gain was that Tiger introduced him to the owner of Victoria's largest shipyard, who was also attending the ceremony. This saved Lao Xia from having to order land-based ships from Longmen and let others make money.

Both parties reached a preliminary purchase agreement on the Xia Group's order for four cargo ships to undertake trunk line transportation, which are expected to be delivered in batches over the next two years. They also ordered a special type of ship called a "snow exploration and supply ship".

This is because Lao Xia made some strange requests, such as quickly releasing internal units and providing field command, communication and garrison functions, which is equivalent to a castrated version of Rhodes Island, and it will take at least five years to build and deliver.

Although no weapons were installed on it, Lao Xia said he wanted to install engineering machinery, so he made some custom modifications and reserved openings. Later, he will install the large Originium railgun that Master Ke had prepared, and it will be a very awesome land battlecruiser or assault support ship.

Of course, no one present was a fool; they could tell that this was definitely not going to become a real supply ship.

However, these days, which conglomerate of Terra's size doesn't have some big treasures? Blacksteel and Thor even have proper land battleships.

Old Xia's secretive approach to acquiring an armed transport ship has everyone worried for him. Black Steel International has even hinted that they can help him order a regular warship from Raytheon Industries, anything below cruiser.

However, without the backing of powerful figures and the connections to act as intermediaries, these seemingly simple matters become very difficult to handle. The international arms trade is not something you can simply buy whenever you want; there are all sorts of messy and troublesome issues involved.

The engagement ceremony was not complicated. Compared to the wedding, both of them looked like they were in a stomachache. They went through the process almost numbly under the emcee's direction, like puppets. Apart from the relatives and friends present, there seemed to be no sweetness at all. Instead, it felt like a business transaction.

However, those in the know who knew this was a marriage alliance didn't see anything wrong with it. A marriage alliance is a negotiation and cooperation between two forces. The two people involved are at most just shaking hands at the beginning of negotiations, or giving small gifts after reaching an agreement.

Nobody cares about their thoughts, and even the individuals involved themselves don't care if they are prepared to sacrifice for their family and career.

The only saving grace in this process was that the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and both of them had good character and qualities.

Compared to those noble ladies who are forced to marry men twenty years their senior, shockingly ugly aristocratic heirs, or dissolute playboys who are adept at all forms of entertainment, this is already a very good outcome.

"Ah, finally it's over!" The little tiger plopped down on the sofa, feeling completely exhausted. After all, having to maintain a perfect smile the whole time, memorize prepared lines, and recite them with emotion was like torture for her naturally lively personality.

"Yes, it's finally over!" Still dressed as a classical lady, Old Chen opened the refrigerator, took out two cans of iced coffee, tossed one to Swire, and opened the other for himself, then started munching away.

Out of basic courtesy, she could only put on a ladylike fake smile and maintain the demeanor of a serene and classical beauty throughout the event. As a result, few people recognized her, and a few guys who were bewitched by her beauty came up to chat with this unfamiliar beauty from the Guard Bureau.

So, as soon as the ceremony ended, he immediately went into a state of lightning speed, grabbing the Crimson Blade and quickly breaking free from the crowd to run into the lounge. "That was killing me!" With the same imposing posture, he plopped down opposite the little tiger.

If Little Tiger is the adorable, carefree style of a lazy girl, then Old Chen, in the same sitting posture, gives off the vibe of a burly Northeastern man dressed as a woman, especially since she actually has Chixiao swords by her side. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was some kind of female tyrant.

"Phew—" Old Xia was the third to come in. After looking around and thinking for about a minute, he plopped down next to Old Chen in the same manly posture. Of course, he was a man after all.
